Breakfasts and Snacks
Breakfast ( Fruhstuck ) in Austria usually comprises a pot of tea or coffee, together with a couple of rolls with butter and jam - this is what you'll get if you're staying in a youth hostel, private room, pension or inexpensive hotel. One step up, a "full continental breakfast" means you should get a bit of choice, perhaps cold meats and cheeses and, if you're really lucky, a hot egg-based snack. Most hotels at mid-range and above offer a buffet breakfast, which means you can gorge yourself on as much cereal, muesli, eggs, bread, rolls, cheese and meats as you can eat. Most cafes will have a set breakfast menu (again, usually a pot of coffee and a couple of bread rolls and/or pastries) for around oS50-80/?3.63-5.81, and you can of course order extra bits and pieces separately. If you're self-catering, then fresh round bread rolls ( Semmeln ) or finger rolls ( Stangerl ) bought from a supermarket or bakery ( Backerei ) are delicious, as are Kipferl , croissant-style pastries, or the slightly sweeter Kolatschen . Bread ( Brot ) is taken very seriously in Austria, and there is usually a wide variety of lovely crusty loaves on display in most bakeries. The standard loaf is Hausbrot , a mixture of wheat ( Weizen ) and rye ( Roggen ), often with caraway ( Kummel ) or sunflower seeds ( Sonnenblumen ). Austrian snacks centre on the ubiquitous Wurstelstand , or sausage stand, which sells hot sausage ( Wurst ) as well as a few other things - usually French fries, soft drinks, canned beer and occasionally burgers. Numerous varieties of Wurst are available: Frankfurter, Bratwurst (fried sausage) or Burenwurst (boiled sausage) are the most common, but you could also try a Debreziner , a spicy Hungarian sausage, a Currywurst , which speaks for itself, a Kasekrainer , a sausage filled with blobs of molten cheese, or a Bosna , a thin and spicy Balkan sausage. To accompany your sausage, you usually get a roll ( Semmel ) and some mustard ( Senf ), which can be either scharf (hot) or suss (sweet).
